Pedophile Alert!!! Another pedophile trying to lure a Timberwood Middle School girl from her bus stop this morning.
Timberwood Middle School: October 16, 2017
Dear Timberwood Middle School Parents:
I wanted to make you aware of an incident that was reported to us this morning. At approximately 7:45 a.m. a 7th grade girl was walking to her bus stop on Atasca Oaks near Ancient Oaks. A white SUV passed her then turned around and came back with the window open. A man offered her a ride to school and said that he knew her parents. The girl ran in the opposite direction the car was traveling. She ran home and told her parents, who brought her to school and informed staff.
The man is described as older with short gray hair and a sparse beard, wearing a blue shirt. The vehicle is described as a 4-door white Jeep SUV with a dent on the back right.
This is a good opportunity to emphasize the following safety tips with your family members:
Walk to and from school in groups.
If anything unusual occurs, tell an adult immediately. Time can be critical.
Never talk to strangers or accept rides from them, even if you are stranded. Call a trusted adult for transportation.
Be proactive: tour the neighborhood to identify safe and dangerous circumstances and places. Arrange for immediate access to neighbors or other trusted adults who could be contacted in an emergency.
Don’t panic. If you are afraid or have a problem, call a parent or a trusted adult.
Never tell people at your door, phone callers, or online that you are home alone.
Keep your house key hidden. Don’t give it to anyone and don’t keep it in a visible place that would tell people you are going home to an empty house.
Never get into a car, enter a home, look for a lost pet or person, or accept food or items from an adult, unless your parents know what you are doing or have identified that person as a trusted emergency contact.
Tell a trusted adult – parent, teacher or counselor – if anyone ever makes you feel uncomfortable. When children are abused, it often is by someone they know.
Thank you for discussing these important points with your child.
